Time For A Change? – I don’t know John Axford but from following him on Twitter & reading about him he seems like a genuinely good guy, a nice guy, a guy you’d have fun going & having a beer with. While Axford may be all those things off the field right now on the field he is neither a genuinely good or nice closer. In another game the Brewers should’ve won, Axford blew his save opportunity. Closers will blow saves, it’s not realistic to think they won’t, but unfortunately now it’s gotten to the point where asking Axford to come in to put a game away is more of a liability than a benefit. I have no idea who could take over this responsibility if the decision is made to pull Axford from that role, but it’s definitely something Roenicke & pitching coach Kravitz had best be looking into.
